Some friends and I were casually chatting, and one asked if any of us had ever read a series of books from ye olde times as kids; Goosebumps-adjacent horror for kids. Nope. Other friend asks if we've ever read a book called Wait Till Helen Comes. Also no, but I am intrigued by the premise. Turns out there's also a movie. Found said movie on Amazon and decided to give it a watch.

The credits roll, and Callum Keith Rennie's name pops up, grasps me by the shoulders, and Sparta-kicks me all the way back to the early 2000's when I first discovered Due South.

We are all connected, in the great circle of life.

Is anyone here German, or, barring that, does anyone here know a lot about German culture?

When my roommate's fiancee moved in, I immediately noticed a thing she does; I immediately noticed it because it quickly turned out to be a pet peeve of mine: when she leaves the table, she doesn't push her chair in. I'm not talking like, it's out a little, I'm talking about she pushes back, gets up, walks away, and leaves her chair like in the middle of the kitchen.

This quickly got really annoying to me, and I noticed it kind of irked my roommate, too. But, you know, we're getting through it. Whenever I find a chair out I just push it in, though sometimes I push it in a way that makes a lot of noise against the kitchen tiles so that everyone can hear me doing it from wherever they are in the house, just to be petty.

So, the other day her parents came from Germany, and they are staying here with us until after the wedding. I was out all day, but I just came home, and found ALL the chairs out. One of them is straight up almost touching the sliding glass door that is about four feet away from the table. THEY ALL DO IT.

So I'm trying to find out, essentially, if this is a German thing or if this is specific to their family.

Now that I have given myself permission to use icons that are not McCoy, there are too many options, and I am paralyzed with indecision. :')

I spent all day napping on the couch listening to the rain and then chasing down things for my cosplay, when I was supposed to spend the day doing my candyheartsex assignment. It is now 1am and it's due today and WORDS, WHY WON'T THE WORDS??

I know it's a very low 300 word minimum but I wanna do a lot more for my recipient than that!

G O D

I also have to take a shower still because I work tomorrow but my roommate has been in there for like the past hour, I dunno wtf he's doing but there ain't gonna be any hot water for awhile that's for sure.


EDIT, 2:35AM: Done and submitted dabs

I snagged another username I really wanted.

But I don't... know what to do with it.

I don't actually want to like, use a rename token and use it here, because my brand.

But I also don't want to just hoard it for no reason, because it's kinda crappy when people do that, and someone else wishes they could have it, you know?

...hm.

Those of you who have been following me for awhile know that I get really excited to try all the new Coke flavors that come out. It all started with Space Coke (which is still my favorite, RIP, we miss you) and now I just can't help hunting down whatever the newest Coca Cola Creation of the season is.

I didn't even know there was a new one, actually. I was just at the grocery store, minding my own business, and there she was: Coke Y3000, which promises to be "Futuristic Flavored," whatever that means! I've got a can chilling in the fridge right now, so I'm gonna find out very soon.

Remember when Kate Bishop wore that black on black suit to the charity auction?

I do. I do.

12. Also I'm very curious about what led you to switch platforms and join us here on Dreamwidth and how that's going for you. asked by runpunkrun

There was some drama over on tumblr. The sort of drama that devastates you emotionally and reminds you of all the reasons why you need to continue going to therapy.

I loved it there, but too much had changed for me personally, and I couldn't remain there while at the same time working on my mental health and trying to become a better version of myself that the people around me deserved instead of the shit show they got. Without an anchor though, a place where I could participate in fandom, it was almost worse. So I'm glad I was able to set up a quiet little home away from home here, surrounded by low-key, drama-free people.

I miss having close friends that I could talk to about most anything, and I miss roleplaying. I miss the memes and the askbox games and the aesthetic posting, but this is good for me here, I think.

At the risk of big-time exposing myself:

As Halloween nears, I am once again reminded that there is not enough werewolf AU porn and Mirror!verse Trek smut out there in the universe. As much as I would love to be the filth that I'd like to see in the world, I am too lazy and too stressed to write my own. I draw a chalk circle on my living room floor and summon the dark ones, the Halloween gods, the shameless smut peddlers of fandom, to heed my call and grant my every wish.

(I guess also if anyone has any recs, that works too.)

As you all know, my legacy around here is being a Space Coke enthusiast.

Well, it would seem that Space Coke is being retired, or at least is no longer the focus of Coca Cola Creations. Taking its place is Coke Dreamworld, which claims to, yes, you got it, taste like dreams.

Of course, I bought some. So, once it's done chilling in the fridge for a bit, I guess we'll find out if dreams taste better than space (doubtful).
